Fastest way to level a class from 20 to 50 once roulettes are done is PotD, and the second-fastest is running around doing FATEs while dungeon-queueing for the highest level dungeon and doing class hunts, right?

isk posted:To 60, and LDR is worth doing daily, but generally yes. Just kind of asking because I've gotten it into my head that after finishing the ARR main quest I kind of want to learn healing as a SCH (currently level 20) and get that to 50 too before going through 2.x and Heavensward content as my WAR, but at the very least I'll probably need to PotD my way through 20 to 30 because queueing as as a dps for, like, Sastasha sounds terrible while if I'm 30 and count as a healer I can try to actually learn something. Also online I saw a bunch of complaints about the level 20 Arcanist quest, even up to this day when people aid it was nigh-impossible because Arcanist no longer had a malady effect, but following some tips people gave out it seemed... fine? Use the tank carbuncle, focus down anything that's ranged first and leave the melees to the NPCs, spread the dots around instead of ruin-spamming (because NPCs will handle single-target damage), done on the first try.

Obligatum VII posted:The problem isn't really the raises, although having an instant cast raise that is always available is incredibly helpful provided they only need to use it once or twice in a fight since it frees up swiftcast usage and MP for the healers. The problem with RDM's utility, as I see it, is that they get a group damage buff on top of beating the other casters in overall damage. To add insult to injury, said group damage buff does not benefit other casters in any way, thus encouraging dumping any and all other caster DPS for RDMs instead and physical damage classes instead. I don't get why they do this sort of thing that limits valid compositions like that. Embolden, brotherhood, that should all affect magic damage too. agreed, RDM owns and i'm glad square enix respects my class fantasy of being the strongest and best at all times

5/5 oneshots on a partydad PF that had no ilvl requirement, and thus I could join with my scrub-rear end i303 SAM. This is your hourly reminder that people who demand unreasonably high ilvls to do content you need to do to HIT said ilvl requirement are probably terrible at the game and may even kick puppies for fun.

To emphasize this I joined a farm party that required i310 earlier. The tank couldn't establish threat during the umbral ice phase of my opener and it wasn't until I hit lucid dreaming that a tank could establish a lead (through diversion! How?!). Then after we somehow make it through the swords 3 of the 4 lightning markers are put on the side we're on. I wish I could say I was surprised.

Found a party, ilvl 310 minimum, neat, we might not need to vril all that much. Join party. Party for some reason starts a Susano. gently caress. I just finished farming this bitch, I do not want any more jolly samurai in my life. I'm not gonna just bitch out though, might as well heal these clowns for a run, maybe grab a weapon or something. Orb tank decided to be in DPS stance for orbs, ate six of my lustrates and died. We get him up. Then the second tank is failing to pop any cooldowns. We fail the DPS check. "Farm parties", man.

Question re: PotD levelling. People seem divided on whether running 1-10 or 51-60 is better - is one clearly better than the other or is it getting to a matter of personal preference? Related question, while I'm trying to get enough aetherpool to not be a hindrance in 51-60, should I just be running 1-10 or just keep progressing on until 50 and then restarting?

Just make sure you use strength, shielding, and flight pomanders liberally (not like anyone else will). If other people start attacking your target, go attack a new one since pubs are generally huge babies and refuse to go solo enemies in PotD even though it's super easy to as any class.

- No direct potency changes to MCH abilities, I'm sad as heck  Still a 3% increase on the Hot Shot buff, Overload made effective enough to be worth doing during wildfires, and Barrel Stabilizer getting its cooldown cut in half is certainly nice, though. I don't know if it'll be enough??  - Summoners REJOICE: "Dreadwyrm Trance Aetherflow actions are no longer required to inflict an effect on a target to gain Aethertrail Attunement." - I guess Plenary Indulgence is now a "oh gently caress we need more goddamn AOE healing" button. I'm still not exactly sure how you're meant to use it though, with a Confession stack time of ten seconds. Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Drg looks like the minimal set of changes necessary to make it play nicer. It'll still probably get an overhaul in a patch or two but it should be fine for now. e: and Summoner no longer loses out on a minute of aetherflow if they gently caress up, neat

The drg potency change probably means you actually want to use BotD extenders even in Lotd, but I don't remember enough details of how the LotD sequence worked to math it out. I think it almost assuredly means we can Lifesurge the second extender if the CD doesn't line up with Full Thrust.

That new tank gear actually looks quite nice. They didn't do much of anything to my main class, so that's good. Oh, except make Assassinate better in PVP which is cool. I can't wait to break into Savage for the first time.

This seems pretty reasonable insofar as I understand the changes! How is the Balance nerf going to affect AST insofar as changing the paradigm where all cards that are not The Balance exist in order to serve The Balance?
